Hi,
I’m able to easily mute my PC Sound Card via the Mixer, but I can’t find a
way to mute the PC Speaker. Is this possible under 6.1?
Also, it seems to me that packages.qnx.com is currently out of
service. Has anyone else experienced difficulties when trying to connect
to this site?

Yup, use wire cutters

OK. I must admit I thought that wire cutters were a little extream. But I
think that running Photon from /dev/null is still a little harsh. Perhaps
we can add something as a luxery feature in the future to turn off the
speaker.

Running Photon from /dev/null? No, that isn’t what happens. In-side of
PtBeep() there is an open to /dev/con1 to send the beep character to make
the sound. Doing the -sP just sets up a runtime link too so it goes away
when the machine is rebooted.

Yes but, often I will put printf() inot photon apps for debug purposes.
With this method I wouldn’t be able to see them.

Awwww, does this mean noone likes my wire cutter idea?
Good thinking Chris, wish I knew that before, for my system
at home (shrug).

Hello,
I’d like to provide more detailed info (I can not understand what I’ve written yesterday ). My
case has no speaker at all. Motherboard’s PC Speaker wire connected to PC_SPK input of SB Live!
Value. So I can hear speaker’s sound of old DOS apps thru external speakers in windows environment
(windows mixer has PC Speaker device, my friends have a fun to see this device in mixer . There
is no PC Speaker device in QNX’s mixer (of course, I mean SB Live driver) and I can not hear the
Photon’s beeps . (I know what can I do to hear it)
Anyway, I think it’s no related to originator’s question. Maybe, it’s interesting for hardware
support… There are many extraordinaries in the world

Hi Eduard,
I also did this once on my home system, the only problem was late one night I had the stereo
turned on (not very loud) with the output from the SB and the PC did POST with the ticks and
the beep. The only problem was that I was trying to sneak on the computer that night and when
the ticks came on like a gatling gun and the beep like a fire alarm I decided to remove the
PC speaker connection. Darn aplified PC speaker

No. You would still be able to see your printf()s. They go to the
pseudo tty.

Oops twice! It works fine. I enabled PC Speaker in mixer and I’d heard Photon’s beeps. Thank you,
guys.
Best regards,
